Under $300K in One of America's Fastest-Growing Cities: 717 Sequoia Drive, Anna, TX header image.

Let's be real — finding a move-in ready home under $300,000 in Collin County right now is nearly impossible. Finding one with a dedicated office, a cozy fireplace, a covered patio, and quartz countertops? Even harder. But that's exactly what's waiting at 717 Sequoia Drive — and at just $298,000, it won't last long.

Step Inside and Fall in Love

The moment you walk through the door, the stunning new hardwood floors catch your eye and flow seamlessly through the open-concept living space. This isn't one of those cramped layouts where everyone feels on top of each other - the living room, dining area, and kitchen connect beautifully, creating a bright, airy atmosphere that feels much larger than its 1,737 square feet.

And that wood-burning fireplace? Picture yourself this winter, curled up with a blanket, the fire crackling, a cup of hot coffee in hand. That's the kind of home this is.

The kitchen has been updated with sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in microwave. It's the kind of kitchen that makes you actually want to cook - and when you're hosting, the open layout means you're never cut off from the conversation.

The Office Everyone Wants Right Now

One of the biggest selling points of this home is the dedicated office with glass French doors. Whether you work from home full-time, need a quiet study space, or want a flex room for the kids - this space gives you options. Natural light pours in, and when you need focus, just close those beautiful glass doors.

Three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms round out the interior. The primary suite features a walk-in closet, dual vanity, garden tub, and separate shower - your own private retreat at the end of a long day.

A Backyard Worth Staying Home For

Step outside and you'll immediately understand why this home stands apart. Mature shade trees create a canopy of green that keeps the backyard cool even on scorching Texas summer days. The covered patio is ready for weekend barbecues, morning coffee, or unwinding after work. And tucked into the landscaping is a charming rose garden — a small detail that adds so much character.

The fully fenced yard, two-car garage, and the fact that all appliances stay — including the refrigerator, washer, and dryer — make this truly turn-key. You bring your furniture and your dreams. The rest is handled.

Anna, Texas: The Smartest Move in North Texas Right Now

Here's where this gets really exciting. 717 Sequoia isn't just a great house - it's located in one of the most strategic growth corridors in the entire country.

According to the Anna Economic Development Corporation, Anna ranks as the 4th fastest-growing city in America. And the numbers back it up:

  • Population today: nearly 30,000
  • Projected by 2030: approximately 45,000
  • Projected by 2050: over 100,000

A massive $1.5 billion master-planned community called Sherley Farms broke ground in March 2026 - bringing 3,000 new homes, a 65-acre working organic farm, miles of trails, and a completely new vision for walkable, wellness-centered living. Lots are expected to be ready by late 2026, with the first model homes opening in spring 2027.

Just up the road, the 1,035-acre Liberty Hills development is bringing 1,800 new homes starting in the $500s, alongside future commercial and retail. Meanwhile, First America Homes - a top-75 national builder - recently expanded into Dallas-Fort Worth and is constructing 81 homes in Anna's Leonard Trails community starting in the $300s, with construction beginning in July 2026.

And that's just the beginning. There are approximately 600 new home communities in and around Anna, with builders like Taylor Morrison, Pulte Homes, Lennar, Bloomfield Homes, Meritage, and many more competing for land and buyers.

The city itself is making massive infrastructure investments — expanding roadways, upgrading water and sewer capacity, streamlining permitting, and developing downtown with a new plaza, pedestrian corridors, and a community library.

What does all this mean for 717 Sequoia Drive? As thousands of new homes come online at higher price points, the value of existing, established homes - especially move-in ready ones on mature, tree-lined lots - is only going in one direction. This is what buying at the right time in the right place looks like.

Location is Everything

  • 45 minutes to downtown Dallas
  • Under 30 minutes to McKinney's historic square, shopping, and dining
  • Minutes from US-75 for an easy commute north or south
  • Close to the Grayson County tech corridor — Sherman and Denison are becoming major employment hubs with companies like Texas Instruments and GlobalWafers investing billions
  • Anna ISD schools serving the community

You're far enough from the city to enjoy quiet suburban living with big skies and friendly neighbors, but close enough that everything you need — groceries, restaurants, entertainment — is a short drive away.

Under $300K: The Math Speaks for Itself

Let's put this in perspective:

What You're Looking At Price Point
New construction in Anna (entry-level) High $200s – low $300s
New construction with similar upgrades $320K+
Liberty Hills new homes (coming soon) Starting at $500K
717 Sequoia Dr — established, upgraded, move-in ready $298,000

At just $172 per square foot, this home delivers incredible value. It's priced below what comparable new construction costs, on a mature lot with established trees, in an established neighborhood with character - not a dirt lot waiting years for amenities and landscaping to fill in.

And here's something that adds extra confidence: the Zestimate® for this home sits at $294,000 - nearly identical to the $298,000 list price. That kind of alignment between market value and asking price is rare. It tells you the home is priced right - no games, no inflation. What you see is what it's worth.

Plus, with financing options including Cash, Conventional, FHA, and VA, this home is accessible to a wide range of buyers. The HOA? Just $20 per month.
